AI Analysis

Impact

A buffer overflow flaw exists where improper bounds checking can lead to corruption of memory. When an application processes malicious data, the overflow causes the target app to terminate unexpectedly, resulting in a denial‑of‑service condition for the user.

Affected Systems

Apple devices running iOS, iPadOS, macOS (Sequoia, Sonoma, Tahoe), tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS are affected. Versions older than iOS 18.7.3, iPadOS 18.7.3, iOS 26.2, iPadOS 26.2, macOS Sequoia 15.7.3, macOS Sonoma 14.8.3, macOS Tahoe 26.2, tvOS 26.2, visionOS 26.2, and watchOS 26.2 are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 2.8 indicates low severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low exploitation likelihood. This vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is delivery of malicious content that an application will ingest, which may come from network traffic or user-provided data; however, details are not explicitly stated and are inferred from the description.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update to the latest Apple operating system release that includes the fix for this flaw.
  • Ensure that input data fed to applications is validated or sanitized to prevent malformed content from triggering the overflow.
  • Monitor application logs for unexpected crashes and investigate any instance of forced termination.
